Giving
Club
The Social Giving Club has become more than just an opportunity to join with friends and enjoy social time. Members are a family, coming together to create a significant impact in the Albuquerque community. This sentiment can be seen through the laughs, the hugs and the joy everyone shares when it comes to collective grantmaking. What a whirlwind the past three years have been; a total of $75,000 granted in the Albuquerque community to date. This is an impact not many grantmakers can pull off with only 50 people! In 2018, the Club awarded a $25,000 grant to Future Focused Education. The Foundation was also able to allocate additional resources to help support the two other nonprofits that presented during the Club’s Grant Night: Adelante’s GiveABQ program and Lutheran Family Services’ refugee program. Future Focused Education Grant Future Focused Education works with local employers who are concerned about workforce needs. Through the Future Focused Internship Program, forward-thinking employers can provide underserved and underrepresented students with authentic learning experiences that develop the skills and character necessary for these students to overcome barriers and become successful leaders in their communities and in their future professions. The program provides a bridge for students from the Leadership Schools Network to life after high school that puts them on a path toward higher education and living-wage employment.
